Got back home, re-packed, then drove 5h with my daughter to Hemavan

Got back on Sunday from Hemavan, re-packed, then left first flight Monday morning on a short notice business trip to London.

Landed Monday noon, was in a rush, and managed to trip on a curb and broke my shoe just before the first client meeting. Always a good first impression to walk in with broken shoes!

The London Metal Exchange "Ring", Europe's last open-outcry traiding floor.

(No pictures allowed, so I took a picture of a wallpaper instead )

Fine dining with clients

Finer dining by myself

Saw some shows

Found my favorite Shawarma place from the good ole days, still going strong!

Had some evening jogs. I had forgotten that they lock the parks at night (unheard of where I live) and got myself locked in! Had to climb the fence!

My wife ordered me to bring home british bread, it's sooo much better than Swedish!

The super-glued shoes held on for dear life, but made it through the week! The burial was emotional but beautiful.

Flight home, guess the stadium!

Three weeks away from home, it feels really good to be back!

Greek Bicentennial +5 years. 25 March 1821 when the Greek Revolution against the Ottoman Turkish Empire started.
The revolution came to an end and a modern Greek state was internationally recognised in 1830, but, in Greece, we tend to celebrate the initial decisions of people to die in combat, rather than the final succesful (or any) outcome.

A holiday, and nice opportunity for a visit to the Naval History Museum:
Armoured Cruiser Averoff, the last surviving ship of that class world-wide, responsible for destroying the Turkish fleet in 1912-13

Edit: That very dark blue hue on our flag is wrong!

Work trip but where else to post? City of Kiruna, in the very north of Sweden (did not stay at the Ice hotel unfortunately)

 

[Coyote]

Does the hotel have any heating?

Spring is slowly coming in the mountains of Epirus!
Below freezing, though, at night, on May 1st.

Good to warm one's bones by the fire, after a day in the mountains. That's the living closet of my 1895 great-grandfather's home in Pesta:
